Bilateral trade between ASEAN and China grew five folds from 78 billion U.S. Dollars in 2003 to 443.6 billion dollars in 2013.

Regional connectivity will become stronger with the fast- developing transport network and several commendable proposals initiated by China such as the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, he added.
